Hello everyone,
I'm leaving for New Zealand on 15th December to spend three weeks with my
son and his girl friend. My lovely husband is staying at home to look after
the house and cats, and suggested that I take my mother with me. We are
both lacemakers - bobbin and needlelace. Are there any
provenance from the french meaning 'where it comes from'

Little Oxford dictionary.

We have just updated the Lace Guild website with extracts of Lace
Magazine for October, a festive Christmas tassel on the Young
Lacemakers page, and the usual events and suppliers updates and ...
... the Lace Guild Advent Calendar for 2005.

I regret to inform you that there are quite a few Arachnids who either did
not know how to spell provenance, or were entirely too disinterested to
inform me. I only heard from a few hundred (kidding), who are now on the
Arachne Dean's List for spelling.
Thank you all for reminding me (once

After reading Debbie's message, I went in and had a look at the bobbin
in question as curiosity got the better of me. I have one with more or
less identical beading (so how old are those beads? - I haven't come
across anything modern as tiny) which are in lines of about an inch long
but the bobbin
Yes - you're right - AND you're assuming what I meant!! : )

which, btw, IS spelled correctly, even though used tongue in cheek!?)
Lordy, I love words, and I love to be accurate when I use them, but that

Oxford dictionary of spelling and word division... falls down,
Reminds me of the last year I taught. When I told my 8th graders to look up a
word in the dictionary, they wanted to know what page it was on. They
insisted it couldn't be found unless the page number was known. No, they
weren't kidding. They were very serious and it was obvious that they had
Roget's Thesaurus - I look up a word that means nearly what I want

Is this getting a bit off-topic for lace?

Bryn Phillips repaired a number of bobbins for me over the years, and he
once remarked that it would be dead easy to fake an antique bobbin. I
never did ask him for details. My trips to England usually entailed carting
home as many bobbins as I could, from where ever I could find them.

I got a secret pal package today, now inside of it is a lace fan pattern

many bobbins it takes. If someone could write to me with

I am so sorry that I sent the message about lace bobbins to chat instead
of Lace. It is not the first time I have made that mistake, but
